XT -Torch Technology<br />

Unique ‘Keyless’ Consumables Cartridge<br />

A U T O M A T I O N<br />

The unique, SpeedLok Consumables Cartridge houses consumable parts only, no built-in head/torch body to drive replacement costs up. Changing<br />

cartridges is fast and easy – a couple of twists and the unique ‘rapid engagement’ retaining collar threads release the cartridge. Down-time is<br />

reduced to seconds and you can change from one process to another or from one application to another quickly and easily.<br />

XT-Torch Head<br />

No Tools Required<br />

Unlike other torches, no tools are required to change either the<br />

torch consumables or major components in the Torch Head.<br />

‘Leakless’ Torch Head Design<br />

Coolant doesn’t drip from the torch head when the consumables<br />

cartridge is removed from the torch head.<br />

Prevents air from entering the system and becoming trapped in<br />

the leads.<br />

Self-centering Components<br />

Cartridge<br />

Consumable parts and torch body are precisely engineered to lock<br />

into place for absolute alignment and remain positioned cut after<br />

cut. Independently-aligned tip and electrode assures accurate<br />

re-centering of the consumable cartridge after each parts change.<br />

This guarantees best cut quality again and again.<br />

Electrode<br />

Superior Warranty<br />

Thermal Dynamics’ XT-Torch warranty covers components and service for<br />

a full 1-year period.<br />

Precision Cuts on all Metals<br />

The XT-Torch dual gas technology provides the highest arc density<br />

plasma stream in the industry for precision cuts on mild steel, stainless<br />

steel, aluminum and other non-ferrous materials. Choices for plasma gas<br />

include Air, N2, O2 or Ar-H2, shield gas choices include Air, N2, O2, H2O, or<br />

Ar-H2.<br />

With the XT-Torch the operating window permits wide travel speed<br />

variance which means you'll get great cuts more often and less wasted<br />

material and time.<br />

• Less critical standoff height<br />

• Wider ‘Operating Window’ for dross-free cutting


Automated Plasma Cutting<br />

Automated Digital Flow Control (DFC-3000)<br />

Designed specifically for use with the high-precision Ultra-Cut systems,<br />

the automated DFC-3000 (Digital Flow Control) consists of three separate<br />

modules.<br />

• The TSC-3000 (Touch Screen Controller) offers the only touch screen<br />

in the plasma industry today. The interface allows operators to quickly<br />

choose one of potentially 1000’s of stored programs and start cutting<br />

by touching the green “Go” button. Future software upgrades can be<br />

made through the standard USB port.<br />

• With the TSC-3000 older CNC's can also be used with an automatic gas<br />

console. No new CNC has to be purchased.<br />

• The DMC-3000 (Digital Manifold Control) functions as the central<br />

manifold for all incoming gases. Having (7) inputs and (5) outputs, this<br />

unit enables the gas to be used according to the program selected.<br />

• The DPC-3000 (Digital Pressure Control) controls/maintains gas<br />

flows and pressures needed to optimize the cutting process. The unit<br />

is normally mounted within 4' (1.2 m) of the cutting torch to minimize<br />

time to switch between processes.<br />

• This automated Digital Flow Control system reduces set up time,<br />

minimizes set up errors, provides consistent performance, and offers<br />

the industry’s only touch screen controller for easy set up and operation.


Why choose the automated<br />

Digital Flow Control?<br />

• Easier to use<br />

• No setup errors<br />

• No need for CNC to control the DFC<br />

• Uses the same parts for cutting and marking<br />

• Reduced set up times<br />

• Consistent cut quality<br />

• Improved parts life and cut quality<br />

• Easily switch between marking and cutting<br />

• Integrates easily to most CNC’s<br />

Marking Samples<br />

When To Choose The Automated Digital Flow Control<br />

Consider the automated DFC for:<br />

• Easy setup<br />

• More consistent cut quality<br />

• Plasma marking<br />

• When applications call for frequent changes in<br />

material types or thicknesses<br />

• Optimizing cut quality<br />

• Controlling the Ultra-Cut ® system automatically<br />

Ultra-Cut ® 400 vs Oxyfuel<br />

• Averages 3 times faster cut speeds<br />

• Pierces 1¼" (35 mm) in 1.5 seconds<br />

• One Ultra-Cut 400 can replace up to 4 oxy-fuel torches -<br />

each requiring their own height controls.<br />

• Ultra-Cut 400 provides superior stainless steel and<br />

aluminum cut quality<br />

• Higher arc density equals faster speeds without<br />

sacrificing cut quality<br />

• Smaller tip orifices create a narrow kerf for tighter angles<br />

and radiuses at higher speeds - less material waste<br />

Automated Plasma Cutting<br />

Water Mist Secondary (WMS ® ) For Non-Ferrous Materials<br />

WMS delivers excellent non-ferrous cut quality and low cost of<br />

operation by using N2 as plasma gas and ordinary tap water as<br />

the secondary. A reducing atmosphere is produced in the cut by<br />

the release of hydrogen from the secondary water. The reducing<br />

atmosphere decreases oxidation on the cut face surface. WMS<br />

is recommended for materials up to 1½" (25 mm) thick.<br />

WMS Benefits<br />

• Lowest operating cost<br />

• Up to 3 times faster cutting speeds than H35<br />

• Dross-free cutting<br />

• Oxide-free cut surface<br />

• Wide parameter window<br />

• Easy to use<br />

• Laser-like cut quality on Aluminum<br />

• Small heat effected zone<br />

• Less distortion<br />

• Same weldability as H35<br />

Cutting Aluminum with the Ultra-Cut ® 200<br />

Example for 3/4" (20 mm) with WMS<br />

Example for 1/4" (6 mm)<br />

Aluminum cut with WMS<br />

The WMS process uses nitrogen as the plasma gas while<br />

water is used as the secondary gas (shield gas). The water in<br />

the torch is divided into its principal components (hydrogen<br />

and oxygen) during the cutting process. The majority of the<br />

water used during the process (from 4 to 8 GPH (0.25 to 0.5 l/<br />

min)) is converted to principal components (gas) and thereby<br />

does not require disposal.<br />

Note: This cutting speed chart includes preliminary data and is subject to change<br />

without notice. Take care in comparison. The speeds noted above are best cut<br />

speeds. Often, competitors show maximum cutting speeds. Although much higher<br />

speeds can be achieved, edge quality and bevel angle may be compromised. The<br />

capabilities shown in this table were obtained by using new consumables, correct gas<br />

and current settings, accurate torch height control and with the torch perpendicular<br />

to the workpiece. The operating chart does not list all processes available for the<br />

Automated Plasma Cutting<br />

Height Control: SC-3100 and SC-3200<br />

Features<br />

Torch Height Adjustable in Distance or Voltage<br />

Distance mode:<br />

• Change speed without changing stand-off height<br />

• Automatically adjusts for electrode wear<br />

• Cut continuously at peak performance<br />

Voltage mode:<br />

• Ideal for contoured materials<br />

Built-in Collision Sensor<br />

• No costly sensor to replace<br />

• No air source required at lifter station<br />

• Works in X-Y-Z planes; works in all directions<br />

Arc Voltage Range<br />

• Ready for most applications, from plasma marking<br />

to cutting the thickest materials<br />

Easy to Operate<br />

• High contrast display for maximum visibility<br />

• Operating parameters accessed using two<br />

drop-down menus<br />

Fast Installation<br />

• Easily connects to most CNC and plasma systems on<br />

the market today<br />

Pierce Retract<br />

• Lifts torch after initial piercing to increase pierce capacity<br />

Direct Control<br />

• Lifter can be controlled directly from CNC interface; no<br />

separate terminal necessary<br />

Instant Pierce Height<br />

• Adjustable torch height for better initial pierce height<br />

finding on gauge materials<br />
